EDINBURG'S BOY INVENTOR TAKES RAP AT CRITICS Ernest Patrick Maintains His Television Set Has no Tubes. pv Time* Special COLUMBUS, Ind., May 31— Ernest Patrick, 17-year-old Edinburg high school boy. whose television set has been the subject of considerable attention in the past few months, took to answer critics when /ierronstrated the set here at the home of Mr. ana Mrs. Ray Henderson. Clarence Everrcad, local radio man, who inspected the television apparatus a few days ago, intimated in a public statement that it incorporates no new ideas, that tubes are used and that he doubted that it cost but 30 cents to build. The young inventor in reply, declares the set has no tubes; that it operates for longer distances than i similar apparatus; that it reproduces colors, and with the exception of the battery, cost only 30 cents. Interests Large Companies Patrick asserts he has formed contacts with several large concerns interested in his invention and mentioned the Radio Corpora cion of America; Montgomery, Ward & Cos.; Jenkins Television Corporation, Jersey City; the United States Radio and Television Corporation, Marion, and the Bell Telephone Company. Several of the firms have offered him use of their laboratories, the youth says. He is preparing to obtain a patent on the invention and in that connection, will have his plans witnessed and notarized by a Purdue university radio expert. Discussing his invention, his hopes and daily life, young Patrick said: “There are no tubes of any kind in my set, neither for detecting sigrfals nor for amplifying them. “I did not buy the parts and assemble them. I made each one myself. “The actual cost of all materials I bought for the chassis was 30 cents. I don’t know who knocked off that penny and made it 29. “Mr. Everroad and his companions were in no position to comment on my set, for they were not closer than ten feet to it, and were there only ten minutes. They are mistaken about it containing a tube, or any other kind. I have built dozens of tubeless sets. Reception from London “The usual distance for television reception is not over 200 miles. I have got London twice, and have no difficulty getting reception for 1,000 miles. “I have been told by television fcen that the disc must open up and shut off the light at the theoretical rate of 48,000,000 times a second to obtain color. My disc travels at a rate far under that, although I am not just sure what its rate of speed is. “I use a six-volt wet battery. The 'price of this is not, of course, included in the 30 cents. “If I make a million dollars out of it, all I’ll want is just the chance to go ahead working. My father and my brother are farmers. That’s what they are interested in, but I’ve always been interested in electricity. I’d starve to death farming. “I’ve been experimenting with radio about six years and with television the last three. I toork at it every night until midnight, except Sunday. My mother won’t let me work on Sundays. “Latin and algebra are tough. Electricity'is easy. But my teachers at Edinburg help me and I manage to make good grades. But I work hard.” BAN ON ‘GABBY’ COPS Gary Mayor Warns Policemen About Talking Too Much.

Fulmer, in charge. Ministers and other speakers from various other cities will take part in the programs, including the Rev. R. Hinkelmann of New York, former pastor here; the Rev. S. H. Gapp, Bethlehem, Pa., vice-president of the provincial elder conference; the Rev. F. P. Stocker, pastor of the First Moravian church, Indianapolis; the Rev. Charles Lizenby, Indianapolis; the Rev. V. W. Couillard, pastor of the Second Moravian church, Indianapolis, and the Rev. Alexander Sharp, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, here. Each division of the church will hold services one night, and at the first Sunday afternoon services a love feast will be held on the public square as was done when the first church was organized June 17, 1330. The anniversary sermon will be given by the Rev. Mr. Gapp. Founded in 1830 The first Moravian church was organized under the leadership of Martin Hauser, who with a number ol Moravians emigrated to Indiana in 1825. They settled in what later became known as Hawcreek township, on which was destined to be the site of Hope. Gathering these first families together, Hauser formed a congregation andi on Jan. 2, 1830, by agreement, Hauser, Daniel Ziegler, John Essex, Samuel Rominger and Joseph Spaugh, and their families became the first congregation. One of the considerations in forming the congregation was to obtain land on which to locate a town. Help was obtained from the Rev. Louis De Schweinitz, president of the Provincial Helpers’ conference of the Moravian province at Bethlehem, Pa., in the sum of S2OO. The money was used to purchase a site and on April 5, 1830, the first tree was felled toward erecting a church. On June 9 the church, a rude log cabin, was partially complete, and services were held June 17, although the cabin was without a roof other than leafy boughs twined together. Thirty-three persons attended the meeting, which included a love feast. The following month more emigrants came from North Carolina. Town Once Called Goshen After the establishment of the church the name Goshen was givvn the place, but this was eventually changed to Hope. In order that he could administer the sacraments of the church, Martin Hauser was ordained at Bethlehem in 1833. The church grew and soon a larger building was necessary. On June 17, 1838 anew church was dedicated by Bishop Benede of Bethlehem, and at that time after eight years’ service the Rev. Mr. Hauser resigned the pastorate to devote his time to home mission work. In the spring of 1874 another church was erected, the present structure, a large brick building which cost $16,000. It was dedicated June 17, 1875. In 1845 a branch church known as the Enon church was established near Hope and it was active until a few years ago rnhen i.it became consolidated with the Hope church. In 1859 the Hope church entered upon anew enterprise, a parochial and boarding school. It had- forty-three pupils, but was abandoned. In 1866 the school was reopened. It prospered for fifteen years. The church here has become known throughout the country chiefly because of its elaborate Easter morning sunrise services. The Rev. Mr. Fulmer came from Ft. Washington, 0.. to the pastorate of the church in 1927. From the Hope church sprang the First church of Indianapolis and from it the Second Moravian church of that city.
